off? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!? Just a few days ago, I slipped and broke my fibula right above my anke. I was put in a cast and the doctor told me the cast would be removed in 6 weeks. Upon taking my cast off, he said I couldn't play sports for 2-3 months. Is this too much? I play basketball, which puts a lot of pressure on your ankle, but it's not like the damage that's put on it from getting tackled in football or slide tackled in soccer. Could I start playing sooner? And if not, is there anything I can take that will make healing faster? I heard calcium supplements work.
